Frame adjuster

beesfan · Post by **beesfan** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 8:22 pm

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm monuting a vtr engine and i'm having a little problem with one of the spacers. Would somebody be able to tell me what tool i need to adjust the frame so that the spacer will fit? From what i can see it's the frame that needs to be adjusted because i can see some sort of thread. I've attached a picture so you can see the bit i mean. The top of it looks a bit like a castle.... I know i know, it's the only way i can describe it.

If somebody could give me some pointers i can go out and buy the tool.

Cheers.

I just made one from a 3/4 inch socket using an angle grinder to cut out the castelations.

I never thought about that. I'll give it a go.

I don't suppose you have any tips on making a fork seal driver?

no m8, but to make up for it, and in the finest Blue Peter tradition, here's one I made earlier...

Depending on what diameter fork legs you have, try your local friendly plumbers merchant
Might have some pipe with the right internal diameter

I got a mate to give me a piece of mild steel tube with the right internal diameter. It was a bit tight so I cut it down both sides with an angle grinder and prised it open a bit. Then it worked, but need to be careful not to scratch the fork leg of course (plenty of lubrication helps)
